"My name is the biggest, so of course they are going to target me as the one to put a lot of the blame on. I had no clue on what's going on, I rent the studio out to people," he explained.

"That's like if I rent the studio out right now to somebody and they choose to bring whoever they want to bring in to the studio. They rented the studio out; I have no knowledge of what's going on until I come back and your [rental] time is finished."

Santana also reiterated his innocence in the case, saying that he has no need to be involved in such petty crime.

"They charged me with the firearms. They didn't charge me with trying to sell, but they put out a statement making it seem like I was selling weed out of my studio, which is preposterous," he added. "Dime bags? I got a phantom and a Bentley parked outside the studio; I'm not selling dime bags. That s**t is just crazy."
